Hi new ED30 owner here
« on: September 24, 2014, 12:41:37 pm »
Bonjeur everyone
My name is pete and i currently live in sunny north wales
A few weeks ago i needed a new motor and decided on an ED30
Iv not been on a forum for a while and thought id join up here ready for when my car explodes or makes a funny noise ha
I think my car was owned by a couple of people on here, but had a private plate on it at some point
Its an 07 silver 4 door eddie with a quaiffe and other stuff on it, think its stage 1 atm but think its been stage 2+ ish in the past?
Iv been looking online at different sites and vids and i think it might have been owned by some one called Hurdy?
I might be wrong though but im sure il find out soon ha
Well anyway, hi,  and erm, thats it

Bigtop :happy2:

Yeah i think it is
Looks like its been looked after by the couple of owners its had, been stage 2 twice, had nitrous i think too, and watched it flying round the ring too haha
Not sure if thats a good or bad thing tho haha
I just need to find out what i need to get it back to stage 2+  as im not sure what exhaust and fuel pump etc it has on atm

If it's this car:

It's been well looked after by someone who knows his stuff. He currently drives a 500bhp+ Golf R20. :happy2: Welcome to the forum.

Hi
Yeah its got its original plate on it now but i got loads of receipts and stuff with it and on some it has the reg of the car which is this private one
Some one had it between me and Hurdy and its got grey pescaras on it now and the carbon bits are gone
Got receipts for loads of tuning parts and revo maps, i think its stage 1 now and its had a dsg map, walk kit, arb's, big grooved brakes and its lowered on eibachs i think
Looks like its had a full system and s3 intercooler, spacers and fuel pump too, but think these have have been removed although i think the backbox looks non standard
Need to take it some where really so some one with knowledge can have a look and see whats on it

Best bet. Don't take it to Volkswagen, they won't be very good at all for a car like that. Search out a reputable independent specialist.

Definitely sounds like my old Eddie. :happy2:

It was thoroughly used when I had it but it wanted for nothing in terms of serviceable items etc. Matt had it after I did and took it back to stage 2+....again he looked after it well.

Good to see Eddie is still around.

Welcome to the forum.  :smiley:
Golf R gone.

My old car as well, of which I also had it at stage 2+ so it would be the fourth time the car has been treated to a load of goodies. If I can help with anything else Pete let me know but I think we covered most things yesterday..
